When the army arrived in Qiang County, the King of Qin set up camp and recruited many local residents of Qiang County as guides. Although Qiang County is not big, it is surrounded by desert in front of it, less than a day's journey from the Loulan city-state, and there is a water source, which is a very ideal place to stay.

On the first day of the battle of the desert, Yingsi sat in the camp, and Gan Mao led an army of 10,000 troops and 400 wolf eagle warriors into the desert. Ying Si personally conquered this time, and clearly instructed Gan Mao to exterminate the entire Loulan city-state, whether it was a civilian or a ghost countryman, kill anyone he saw when he saw it, and capture a few alive to ask about the whereabouts of Loulan Libang.

When he was approaching the city-state of Loulan, Gan Mao ordered the army to stop advancing, first ordered two generals to lead 2,000 troops each to surround the city-state, and then sent the general Tang Cheng to lead 2,000 cavalry to attack the city-state. Everything was arranged, and Tang Cheng headed towards the city-state with great momentum, but the castle was empty.

Gan Maobai was busy, went to the Loulan city-state to inspect it, and ordered the army to regroup. Gan Mao stood on a high place and looked at the Loulan city-state in front of him and the vast desert in the distance, and thought about it in his heart, so he ordered the three officers to lead 500 people into the desert to find the whereabouts of the people of the Ghost Fang Country.

Two hours later, none of the three teams returned, and Gan Mao was anxious, so he sent three more teams to find the people in front. After another hour, Gan Mao saw the dust rising from the west from afar, and thought to himself that someone had finally returned.

The sand and dust were getting closer and closer, and suddenly countless sharp arrows came out of the sand and dust, and many people in the Qin army were killed by arrows. Gan Mao immediately ordered Tang Cheng to meet him, and Tang Cheng led his cavalry to meet him, and the two sides fought in the dust.

The cavalry led by Tang Cheng was the elite unit of Great Qin, and it had undergone countless drills in peacetime, and it was extremely brave. Both sides killed for a while, and the enemy soldiers saw that they could not get any benefit, so they immediately retreated to the northwest. Tang Cheng followed closely behind, thinking that he was worried that he couldn't find your lair now, and see where you could escape!

Gan Mao saw that the other party retreated as soon as he made contact, and he was afraid that the other party was luring the enemy to go deeper, but he thought about it again, even if it was the other party's plan to lure the enemy, as long as they could find their lair, some losses would be worth it! Thinking of this, Gan Mao immediately waved his general flag and ordered the army to follow behind Tangcheng and enter the desert.

Tang Cheng chased for a while, and suddenly a phalanx of Qin soldiers with spears of several hundred people blocked the front, Tang Cheng wondered in his heart, he didn't know what was going on with this phalanx of Qin soldiers, and led the cavalry to circle around them. Someone came up to look at them, and saw that their eyes were wrong, and immediately cried out:

"Ghost soldiers! They're all ghost soldiers!"

At this moment, many short spears were suddenly thrown from the phalanx, and many Qin soldiers were hit, and they were killed on the spot with a scream.

Tang Cheng immediately led people to rush over, and after a burst of killing, the Qin soldiers suffered countless casualties, and the opponent's army did not move. At this time, Qin Bing found that the other party only had a spear, no shield, and was not afraid of death, and the sword halberd did not die when it pierced his chest.

"Stop┄┄ suspend the attack!" Tang Cheng immediately ordered. In the emergency, Tang Cheng ordered the troops to reorganize the formation, and at the same time sent someone to ask Gan Mao for help.

When Gan Mao learned that there was an "undead army" in front of him, he was horrified and immediately rushed to the battlefield. Gan Mao soon arrived, and saw his soldiers slashing and slashing around a Qin army array, and several ghost soldiers in the phalanx were gone, braving black blood, but still standing. It was the first time Gan Mao saw the ghost soldiers with his own eyes, and he didn't expect that these ghost soldiers turned out to be Daqin soldiers, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, thinking that he was afraid that the people who were left by the people of the Ghost Fang Country last time had been trained into ghost soldiers.

The undead legions were tightly grouped together, like the living, relying on each other, throwing short spears to attack the Qin soldiers from time to time. The Qin soldiers were unable to disperse them for various kills, so many Great Qin warriors died. Gan Mao was shocked, suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted:

"Scythe Warriors Attack!"

The Scythe Warriors were Qin soldiers who were trained to deal with ghost soldiers, and they immediately stepped forward to surround the phalanx and threw their scythe hooks at the undead legion. The sickle hook hooked a lot of ghost soldiers, some hooked the head of the ghost soldier, and pulled it hard, and half of the ghost soldier's head fell off; Many ghost soldiers were hooked to the bones and pulled to the ground, and the Qin soldiers immediately stepped forward and used a special broadsword to cut them into two pieces.

In the vicious battle, the Great Qin soldiers slashed and killed many ghost soldiers, but when one fell, they made up for one, and the ghost soldier phalanx was still not dispersed. Seeing this, Gan Mao immediately ordered to rush and kill with a chariot.

In desperation, Gan Mao put all the twenty-two chariots he was carrying to use, and under the huge impact of the chariots, the undead army was finally dispersed. However, to Gan Mao's surprise, the undead army suddenly changed from one large phalanx to four small phalanxes, and the ghost soldiers were still fighting back to back.

"Wolf Eagle Warrior Attack!" At this time, Gan Mao had to use special forces!

Hearing this, the four hundred wolf eagle warriors rushed towards one of the ghost soldiers. The Wolf Eagle Switzerland is a special force specially trained by the King of Qin to hunt ghost soldiers, they are all strong, either armed with heavy swords, or large swords and iron axes, can cut ghost soldiers into two pieces with a single blow.

The Wolf Eagle Warriors are really extraordinary, all of them are brave and fearless! After a bloody battle, a small army of ghost soldiers was quickly wiped out!

In the midst of the fierce battle, Gan Mao suddenly saw a puff of dust rising in the distance, followed by the sound of horses' hooves. Gan Mao was shocked in his heart, thinking badly, he was afraid that the other party's army was coming.

Qin Jun saw a black banner appear in sight from a distance, and then a black team appeared from the dust. Gan Mao shouted:

"Wolf Eagle Warriors Array!"

Hearing the order, the Wolf Eagle Ruishi hurriedly stopped the offensive and lined up in front of Gan Mao.

The black banner got closer and closer, and then the arrows rained down and shot at the Gan Mao army. The Qin army hurriedly raised his shield to cover it, but the wolf eagle Ruishi did not have a shield at this time, so many people were shot by arrows.

The black army was all cavalry, and the mysterious patterns of the Ghost Fang Kingdom were painted on their faces, and they couldn't figure out whether they were alive or dead, and they shot arrows while rushing towards the Qin army, and the Qin army suffered a lot of casualties. At this time, Gan Mao found that there were not a few people on the other side, at least three or four thousand! Gan Mao knew in his heart that he had fallen for the other party's strategy. The other party first disrupted their position with an undead legion, attracting and consuming their combat power, and then sent a large army to encircle and suppress them.

This time, half of the troops led by Gan Mao were cavalry and half infantry, thinking that if he retreated at this time, the infantry would not be able to get out! Gan Mao followed the Qin prince to conquer, and this battle was the first battle.

The black flag soldiers surrounded the Gan Mao army for a while, and found that the other party was in danger, and the main general was immobile in the army, unwilling to fight with the Qin army, so he killed for a while and then retreated with the remnants of the ghost soldiers.

Gan Mao led the rest of the men and horses back to the garrison and reported the battle situation to the King of Qin one by one, and the King of Qin exclaimed:

"If the 7,000 soldiers left behind in the former Lizi become ghost soldiers, then there will be a big trouble!"

"In today's battle, I can't see that the other side has such a strong force!"

"After several battles, the people of the Ghost Fang country are secretive, it's hard to say!"

"Yes, we came from afar, but they call the desert home, and it is really difficult to deal with!"

"So you haven't found their lair yet?"

"It should not be far from the city-state of Loulan, and Weichen is estimated to be within fifty miles!"

"I heard from the people of the White Wolf Kingdom that there are no villages within a radius of fifty miles from the Loulan City-State! And there is a small barren mountain not far from the northwest of the city-state, and there is no one on the barren mountain, only a few wolves guarding it, and they eat people when they see them entering!"

"Although there is no one in the Loulan city-state, it doesn't look like it has been uninhabited for a long time! Could it be that there is something wrong with this barren mountain? Someone deliberately made up a story of wolves eating people to frighten people?"

"It's very likely, apparently they just retreated not long ago!, but the people of the White Wolf Country said that the barren mountain is surrounded by a sea of sand, and it is impossible to approach the barren mountain at all!"

"The sea of sand? What is the sea of sand? Could it be that the prime minister met the sea of sand last time?"

"According to the description of the sand sea by the people of the White Wolf Country, it should be!"

"What then?"

"This white wolf countryman has a way!"

"That being the case, tomorrow I will go to the Little Barren Mountain with the people of the White Wolf Country!"

"I can't go tomorrow, I have to prepare some equipment to eliminate the sea of sand!"

"Well, I didn't expect the first battle to be a vicious battle, it seems that this Ghost Fang Country is really a difficult bone to gnaw!"

"If it weren't for the hard bones, Lizi wouldn't have failed miserably!" King Qin sighed.

"Although they didn't win today's battle, they also exposed a lot of weaknesses!"

"Oh, the general, tell me about it!"

"The other party always wants to rely on ghost tricks to win, and is unwilling to fight with us, which means that they don't have many people! This is one of them, although the ghost soldiers are difficult to kill, but they are not unkillable, the king's wolf eagle warriors are extraordinary, if they attack and kill one-on-one with the ghost soldiers, they will not lose the ghost soldiers!"

"If ordinary soldiers and ghost soldiers fight one by one, how can they be compared?" asked King Qin.

"It's very difficult for ordinary soldiers to kill a ghost soldier! Now that the king has brought me the elite division of Great Qin, Wei Chen estimates that it will take three or four to deal with a ghost soldier!"

"Then don't be afraid! This time we must drive out these ghosts and kill them!" King Qin swore an oath.

According to the order of the King of Qin, the people of the White Wolf Kingdom prepared a number of large sheepskin water bags, and two days later, with all the water bags filled with water, they entered the desert with the army of the King of Qin, and arrived not far from the small barren mountain. An elder of the White Wolf Kingdom looked around, found the Eye of the Sand Sea, and prepared to pour water into the Eye of the Sand Sea. More than a dozen people standing next to the Eye of the Sand Sea had ropes tied around their waists, and immediately poured the water from generation to generation into the Sand Eye. When the water in the hundreds of sheepskin bags was about to be emptied, the sand next to the trachoma began to collapse, and then the collapse became bigger and faster.

More than a dozen people who filled the water rolled down with the collapse, and the Qin soldiers in the distance hurriedly pulled the rope to prevent them from rolling down with the collapse. The collapse expanded to a radius of several miles in an instant, and everyone saw a piece of sand and dust rolling in front of them, like a huge wave, and hurriedly retreated. After the dust, the original small barren mountain suddenly turned into a big mountain and stood in front of everyone's eyes. Gan Mao saw that the small barren mountain had shown its original form, and he was secretly glad that he didn't break in recklessly, otherwise he didn't know how many people he would have lost!

"The sea of sand is gone, and the general can take people down!" said the elder of the White Wolf Kingdom to Gan Mao.

"There won't be any more problems, will it?"

"No, follow me!" the man affirmed.

After hearing this, Gan Mao led a team of Qin soldiers to follow the elder down the sand pit and walked towards Xiaogu Mountain. Qin Bing circled around the small barren mountain, and suddenly someone shouted:

"There's a door here!"

Gan Mao looked over, and sure enough, there was a stone gate on the barren mountain, so he said to a soldier beside him:

"Go and pull the chariot that hit the door down!"

As soon as Gan Mao's words fell, a lot of scorpions suddenly came out from under the stone gate, and there were more and more scorpions, and the elders of the White Wolf Country immediately shouted loudly when they saw this:

"Run, it's a poisonous scorpion!"

Gan Mao led everyone to immediately run to the top of the sand pit, and the person bitten by the scorpion was poisoned on the spot!

"Hurry up and release the rockets, hurry up!" shouted the elder of the White Wolf Kingdom as he ran.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng immediately ordered the Qin soldiers to light rockets and shoot arrows at the scorpion in the sand pit. Gan Mao ran desperately forward, and the rocket fired closely into the bunker, forming a wall of fire in his back. The poisonous scorpion was afraid of fire, and wandered on the ground for a while, when suddenly it heard a whistle and went back again.

"What the hell is this, why is it so poisonous?" Gan Mao asked the elder of the White Wolf Country breathlessly.

"This is the Rest of the Scorpion, one can kill an elephant!" replied the elder.

"No wonder!" Gan Mao thought to himself, the last time the people in Lizi drank the river water, they were immediately poisoned, I am afraid that they were poisoned by this ghost thing!

"The whistle came from inside the stone gate, and there were people inside!" said the elder.

"There must be someone, otherwise how could there be a door!" Tang Cheng said.

"How's that good? It's hard to deal with!" Gan Mao mused.

"You can take some dry firewood and light it at the door, and at the same time break the door with a chariot, but I don't know how thick this stone gate is, and whether it can be knocked open!" said the elder of the White Wolf Country.

"I can only give it a try!" said Gan Mao.

As soon as Gan Mao finished speaking, he heard a "creaking, creaking" sound from the side of the barren mountain, and the stone gate opened! Everyone saw from a distance a small group of people and horses walking out of it, and then divided into two rows, standing motionless at the door.

Gan Mao saw that the number of the other party was not large, and stood still, estimating that the other party was going to wait for them to come over to speak, so Duo Tang Cheng said to the elder:

"Go and see if they have anything to say!"

Tang Cheng and the elder immediately brought a team of men and horses over. One of the people led by the other party didn't say a word when he saw them, but stepped forward and handed a piece of brocade silk to Tang Cheng, turned around and entered the stone gate again.

Tang Cheng took the brocade silk and looked at it, his face was shocked, and then he took people back to the sand pit and handed the brocade silk to Gan Mao.

Gan Mao saw the brocade silk, opened it and saw that there was an image of Shang Ying painted on it, and a line of words was written under the image: Tomorrow at noon, a decisive battle between life and death!
